Queen’s speech leaks out early thanks to a computer slip

A government computer error led to queen Beatrix’ traditional Christmas speech being circulated on Monday, a day earlier than planned.

Viewer Anne Jan Roeleveld was able to download the video after going to the royal family website and then changing the date on the url of the most recent royal video.
‘When I heard the queen talking about trust I knew enough,’ Roeleveld told news agency ANP.
Earlier on the Monday, the state information service said trust would be theme of this year’s speech.Support
In the speech, the queen thanks people for the support her family has been given since prince Friso’s skiing accident, ANP said. She also calls for trust in the rule of law.
The rule of law is the basis for a just society, Beatrix says.
‘Openness and tolerance are an important basis for trust. Through the centuries our society has taken its strength from the presence of people from different cultures and religious backgrounds. Tolerance has made our country strong.’
The state information service has refused to comment on the leak. In 2011, parts of the budget leaked out early because of the same mistake.
